Just looked into Inghams site for possile other bookings and noticed that in January %26amp; February even if you select Birmingham for airport choice it only comes up with Bristol when you select any hotel.
Has anyone heard anything regarding Birmingham departures, as already booked for Jan 24th from Birmingham it makes you start wondering and worrying if things are a bit rocky with Inghams hope I%26#39;m wrong.
Perhaps someone can put my mind at rest, I will try and contact them this week.

Hi Wally
I have just checked the inghams website for december and january and it%26#39;s not bringing up any flights at all from birmingham airport.
At the moment all its bringing up are flights from gatwick which are crappy flight times or bristol which is miles away from us.
Not looking good at all for this year,let us know if you find anything out.

Wally just been informed on the lapland forum that inghams are no longer flying from birmingham and letters will be going out this week.
What a nightmare this year!
|||
Sounds to me Bluny that Inghams are in troule. What options are there left now for flying to Kittilia ?
Do you thing they will do a milk run and just stop at Birmingham to collect people ?
Certianly not going down to Gatwick.
Just have to wait for the letter.

Looking at the inghams website the only other options are either a gatwick flight which for us isnt good as the flights arrive there late and get back to gatwick late which means arriving at saariselka if we go there at some silly time like 2am the next morning,and arriving back home around 1am when we return.Isnt good for me as i will want the children to return to school the next day.
Unless they put on a early gatwick flight again like they did last year if we want to go back to lapland we will have to travel to bristol airport which is around a 3hr drive from us.
Well peed off!
|||
I don%26#39;t think Inghams are in trouble, I think they are just being sensible and having all these flights that are half full just does not make sense
|||
i dont see a 2-3 hour drive to be a problem i am traveling down from glasgow to manchester 27th dec for a 6 am flight with going places its all part of the holiday...pick the airport best for yourself and go with a open mind
|||
It%26#39;s no problem doing a 3hr drive to airport!
Its a pain in the a@@@ though when we are used to a 1-15min drive to the airport.
|||
No letter yet Bluny, been away so had no chance yet to get hold off Inghams.
Certainly not doing Gatwick. Will look into sorting own trip out if I have too.
What%26#39;s your options Bluny,do your own thing or go elswhere ?

Hi Wally
I think unless they bring in an early flight again from gatwick this year then we may do the 3hr drive upto bristol airport this year and take an early flight(if they have any left then) purely because i dont fancy arriving back late back on the sunday evening when the children have school the next day.
I will still go through inghams or neilson ski purely because im after a deal and doubt i will get anything cheaper else where.

Ps-May be time to move on and visit some other little hidden gem in the snow:-)
